As we are all still in the middle of this strange period of isolation, all of us at BMA and The Sondheim Awards wanted to come up with something special to lift the spirits of the teachers and students who have been unable to perform their musicals. We reached out to the Broadway community and have been overwhelmed by their love and support!
